Othello's Women -Win

The virtuous white ewe of the black ram Shifting her loyalty like her mother As she wanted to live as she loved him Oh, Alas! She has secretly married the moor. Tricked by Emilia and pitched sexier Both the women differently portrayed Contrast between the two is key factor The three women are used, abused and misused. Emilia quite ahead of her time Through her the bard comments on relation Between husband and wife of a lifetime Women as submissive in tradition She goes on to suggest wrongs of women Are the result of mistreat by husband The ills of husband instruct the women The three women are used, abused and misused. Bianca is in great contrast in theme Presenting the lowest call of woman Something that is most apparent in crime The way in which she is treated by men Iago plays on great contrast between Casio’s good treatment of both instead The three women are used, abused and misused. Women in Othello used in number Of ways with class of the women differed The way men act towards strangely rather The three women are used, abused and misused. * Rhyme scheme - 'ababbcbC ababbcbC ababbcbC bcbC', ====================================== I have revised the refrain "C" as this one is an old poem Dr.Ram Mehta 5Th Place win in Contest: Gothic or Romantic by Giorgio venetto

I enjoyed your surmise, olden and true. This took me way back to 1986. The only play I ever attended was Othello. It was far and away from what I thought about plays and the theater. As impressed as I was, you would have thought I would have attended another.
